My understanding is that it is not possible today to get here with a swift type. In fact, `GetDynamicTypeAndAddress` in swift will be always called on a `SwiftLanguageRuntime`.
That said, I'm not necessarily advocating against the abstraction, just pointing out that this is just a theoretical concern, and given this is an internal API in the debugger, it could be possibly enforced by an assertion to make sure people don't change the status quo accidentally.
